I've got an ath5k laptop running latest rawhide bits and it's completely hosed. Even the normal 'ifup' script panics the box during rhgb bootup. So this isn't NetworkManager really, it's the fact that the ath5k driver is just not ready for primetime quite yet... BTW, you're using ath5k, _not_ MadWifi. The same people sorta work on both, but ath5k is version in the linux kernel while madwifi is the 'stable' driver that will never be upstream due to the binary HAL dependency. On second thought, if you really are building upstream ath5k manually, all bets are off. You should be using the version in the rawhide kernels, because those are the bits that Linville knows will work together (hopefully). It may well be that ath5k-trunk is not compatible with the mac80211 stack in the rawhide kernels. Can you try the ath5k driver that's already in rawhide kernels instead? I don't expect it to work any better, but... Dan, tried as suggested, removed the upstream ath5k and using the one in the rawhide kernel. Get a lovely black screen and similar output as above. Was expecting some turbulence after the announcement on MadWifi about ath5k (good news), didn't know ath5k was already in the kernel. Happy enough to keep updating as new kernels appear in rawhide and trying them out. Will stick with ath_hal on till ath5k is ready to walk down the red carpet (guessing F9 rather than F8 is most likely?) kernel-2.6.23-0.212.rc8.git2.fc8 contains some ath5k updates. Can you replicate with that kernel? John, no change for me. Output below.
